Is sex okay with someone else if your separated from your spouse?
No, sex is not okay with anyone that you are not
married to. If you are married to someone, even if you are
separated, and you have sexual relations with someone other than your
spouse, then you have committed adultery. It makes absolutely no
difference if you love that person, if your spouse was abusive, if you
don't love your spouse, or if you are separated. Marriage is
marriage and to have relations with anyone other than your spouse is
adultery, plain and simple.
- Matt. 15:19-20, "For out of the
heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts,
false witness, slanders. 20 “These are the things which
defile the man."
- Acts 15:29, "...that you
abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from
things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free
from such things, you will do well."
- 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not
know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do
not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit
the kingdom of God."
- Heb. 13:4, "Let marriage be
held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for
fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
